Jesus christ if Ben Harper comes anywhere near the main stage I'm going to bomb that place!

"“Men have been taught that it is a virtue to agree with others. But the creator is the man who disagrees. Men have been taught that it is a virtue to swim with the current. But the creator is the man who goes against the current. Men have been taught that it is a virtue to stand together. But the creator is the man who stands alone"

Gramma your horn is back! My nightmares can resume now..

And I'm a Gaga fan, but not at a festival. I think most of her concert appeal is her set and performance, and from what I've seen of that, it'd be pretty tough to do at a festival. I know she's done them before, but I don't think they're half good as her arena production.

Not sure if they are exactly headliner material, but Primal Scream is currently touring, playing a couple European Festivals (and just finished Australian ones) and yet have no American dates as of yet.

I'm not the biggest Gaga fan, but would welcome her as a headliner just for the change of pace. The Flaming Lips headlining would be a disappointment for me only because they have played so many dates in the PNW over the last few years. They have an amazing stage show, but it can be repetitive after seeing it 5+ times.

Slight possibility? OR are they an undercard?

Love Primal Scream!!! Headline at Sasquatch? Unlikely. Undercard? Possibly. But would I lose my shit if they appeared anywhere on the lineup? Absolutely.

She headlined Lollapalooza last year. She was an absolute train wreck. And not in a good way. I don't see her/want to see her coming to Sasquatch. Its not her scene. I see Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo as more commercial festivals.

I didn't see footage of her performance, but went to her show last time she was here. I didn't think she would be very good without a huge everchanging set, 25 dancers and at least 10 costume changes. It was a really cool show because of all that.. but I don't think I'd pay just to see her sing.
